Marginal propensity to consume (MPC): it is the change in consumption per unit change in income. It is denoted by c and is equal to  ∆C/ ∆Y .

Marginal propensity to save (MPS): it is the change in savings per unit change in income. It is denoted by s and is equal to 1− c . It implies that s+c =1 .

Average propensity to consume (APC): it is the consumption per unit of income i.e., C/Y .

Average propensity to save (APS): it is the savings per unit of income i.e., S/Y .
